Statement regarding LockBit claims
Earlier this morning we became aware of tweets from LockBit, the cyber-criminal gang, claiming that they had compromised Darktrace’s internal security systems and had accessed our data. Our security teams have run a full review of our internal systems and can see no evidence of compromise. None of the LockBit social media posts link to any compromised Darktrace data. We will continue to monitor the situation extremely closely, but based on our current investigations we are confident that our systems remain secure and all customer data is fully protected.

Half a Million Students’ Critical Data Defended by Darktrace AI
Half a Million Students’ Critical Data Defended by Darktrace AI
Darktrace, the world leader in AI technology for cyber defense, has today announced that Education Service Center 11 (ESC 11) has deployed the Enterprise Immune System for AI cyber defense against sophisticated threats.
ESC 11 provides a variety of educational services to 70 school districts and 60 charter schools across Texas, and hosts the private information of over half a million students and over 30,000 educators. Powered by machine learning and AI algorithms, the Enterprise Immune System learns the ‘pattern of life’ for every user and device on ESC 11’s network and uses this dynamically updating understanding to detect known and unknown threats as they emerge.
Darktrace has helped take our cyber defense to the next level,” said Paul Hauck, Senior Systems Engineer at ESC 11. “As a critical component to our overall defense-in-depth strategy, the Enterprise Immune System enables us to instantly remediate and respond to unfolding attacks, before they escalate into a crisis. Darktrace’s AI technology marks a step-change in detecting any potentially threatening activity lurking in our networks.”
Educational organizations store large volumes of highly sensitive information on their networks,” commented Rob Sass, Managing Director, North America, Darktrace. “As fast-spreading and sophisticated breaches become more common, Darktrace arms institutions like ESC 11 with the cutting-edge AI and autonomous response technology they need to stay ahead of today’s pernicious cyber-threats.”
